About ABC Learning Centres

ABC Learning Centres started as an Australian childcare chain, branching out to New Zealand in 2006 with 28 Centres. These days the childcare firm has around 120 centres throughout the country, with 84 in the north island and 43 centres on the South Island.

ABC Childcare Staff

ABC employs around 1,400 full time early childhood teachers, and 650 support staff. Of their fulltime early childhood teachers over 90% hold a Diploma or Bachelor of Teaching (ECE), or are undertaking study towards the qualification. The centres cater to around 8,000 children everyday.

ABC Centres Philosophy

ABC Centres are well known for their modern look and fun logo. They place an emphasis on school readiness, with teaching in numeracy and literacy. Strong values are a core part of the ABC childcare philosophy. On site cooks prepare varied menus that introduce kids to new tastes, and keep them full of energy for active play. A Special Achievement Journal is also kept for each child.
